Mango Soufflé

About This Movie

Mango Soufflé is quite the intriguing piece in the landscape of Indian cinema. It’s an adaptation of Mahesh Dattani's play, and you can really feel the stage roots in its dialogue and interactions. The film has this unique blend of comedy and drama, which keeps the pacing brisk yet introspective. It dives deep into themes of identity, societal expectations, and the struggle for acceptance, all wrapped in this domestic setting that feels both intimate and charged. The performances, especially from the lead, bring a raw authenticity that’s hard to ignore. And while it has some practical effects, it’s really the emotional landscape that captivates. Not many films tackle LGBTQ+ narratives in India at the time, which adds a layer of significance to its existence.
